Book Description
Si no hacemos preguntas atrevidas sobre lo que creemos no crecemos interiormente, no asumimos conscientemente lo que nos dijeron de pequeños que deberíamos creer. Creer como se cree de niño o de joven no es lo mismo que como se cree de adulto puesto que se han adquirido marcos de referencia que permiten analizar críticamente lo que nos enseñaron de la religión, de Dios, de la vida después de la muerte, del sentido ético y moral de la presente vida. De adulto se tiene la capacidad desarrollada para percibir las contradicciones entre lo que se ve y se constata en el diario vivir, y lo que dicen los "profesionales" que debe ser la realidad espiritual. No escribo como teólogo, aunque estudié teología. No escribo como filósofo, aunque estudié filosofía. No escribo como sociólogo aunque estudié sociología. No quiero hacer un tratado de teología, ni de filosofía, ni de sociología. Escribo para creyentes como yo, que están en la búsqueda de respuestas más satisfactorias a las preguntas que tienen de su fe cristiana. Escribo con el fin de compartir estas reflexiones que han zumbado por mi espíritu inquisidor y que, sólo en la soledad del encuentro personal con mi propia autenticidad en el pensar y sentir, he encontrado soluciones satisfactorias. Escribo para compartir con los que lean estas ideas duramente trabajadas, que me han servido para solucionar las contradicciones que he encontrado en la fe cristiana con la que crecí. Mi empeño al escribir estas notas es compartir con el lector aquello que me llevó a sentirme vivo en mi fe, vibrando de emoción al comprender y aceptar que hay diferentes perspectivas que pueden iluminarnos y llevarnos a entender que Dios se manifiesta de diferentes formas de acuerdo con la cultura, con los esquemas mentales, con la riqueza del tiempo, con la antigüedad y madurez de aquellos a quienes Él les habla, en cada etapa en que Él decide que tiene que hacerlo porque ese segmento de la humanidad lo necesita. Esta es pues, una invitación de coraje. Acompáñeme, estimado lector, en la revisión audaz de muchas creencias con las cuales nos criamos y absorbimos sin ningún cuestionamiento para descubrir respuestas diferentes y valederas.

Affectual Erasure
Author: Cynthia Margarita Tompkins
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 1438470975
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Comprehensive examination of how Indigenous peoples have been represented in Argentine film. Affectual Erasure examines how Argentine cinema has represented Indigenous peoples throughout a period spanning roughly a century. Cynthia Margarita Tompkins interrelates her discussion of films with the ethnographic context of the Indigenous peoples represented and an analysis of the affective dimensions at play. These emotions underscore the inherent violence of generic conventions, as well as the continued political violence preventing Indigenous peoples from access to their ancestral lands and cultural mores. Tompkins explores a broad range of movies beginning in the silent period and includes both feature films and documentaries, underscored by archival and contemporary film stills. She traces the initial erotic projection, moving through melodrama to the conventions of the Western, into the 1960s focus on decolonization, superseded by allegorical renditions and the promise of self-expression in late twentieth-century documentaries. Each section includes an introduction to the sociohistorical events of the period and their impact on film production. Analyzed chronologically, the films evidence different stages in the projection of the hegemonic Argentine imaginary, which fails to envision the daily life of Indigenous peoples prior to conquest or in colonial timesand remains in denial of their existence in the present. Cynthia Margarita Tompkinss book is the most comprehensive analysis of the cinematic representations of Argentinean Indigenous peoples ever written. Her writing is lucid, insightful, grounded in a thorough familiarity with the films, and aware of the most current theoretical debates in film/theory and cultural studies. The book will surely become a breakthrough in its field. Santiago Juan-Navarro, author of Archival Reflections: Postmodern Fiction of the Americas (Self-Reflexivity, Historical Revisionism, Utopia)

Ancestor Christology
Author: Cletus Chukwuemeka Nwaogwugwu
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1450262295
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 597
Book Description
The study of the application of the title ancestor to Christ permits the author to delve into the Christological reflection in Africa today through one of the principal ways. At play here is the inculturation of the faith, which cannot be fully achieved without a process of theological assimilation of the fundamental parameters in the African life. The thesis, therefore, is not only limited to a mere description of the contemporary panorama in that respect, but attempts to offer a theological evaluation of the real expressive capacity of the title, as it has been proposed. The criterion used is therefore double: In the first place, the thesis tried to show that the human and the divine natures of Jesus Christ can be maintained in such a way that there is no rupture with the great tradition of the Christological councils. In the second place, if it is capable of responding to demands of Christology from above and from below. In all this, however, the horizon of the debate is not occidental exegetical investigation well known by the author; but from the theological ambient of sub-Saharan world. The conclusion is positive, pondering the terms involved. The work can be of great use in the christoogical endeavors of contemporary Africa, as well for those who desire to delve into it. Don Alfonso Carrasco Rouco (director of the thesis and now Bishop of the Diocese of Lugo Spain) The work of Don Cletus Chukwuemeka contains a clear description of what we may call African traditional religiosity as well as the theological efforts to inject Christianity into this cultural and religious tradition. The central point of these efforts revolves around the understanding of Christ. The most original aspect of this work is in the critical recourse to the figure of the ancestor or proto-ancestor to present the identity of Christ in a way that is faithful to the Church tradition, and at the same time, significant for the religious and cultural tradition of Africa.

50 Años en la iglesia de Roma
Author: Charles Chiniquy
Publisher: Chick Publications
ISBN: 0758908067
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
La conversión de Charles Chiniquy, un ex sacerdote católico He aquí la hermosa y conmovedora historia de un sacerdote que no pudo permanecer en la Iglesia Católica Romana. Te reirás y llorarás con Chíniquy, y tu corazón se conmoverá con un profundo deseo de obedecer a Cristo y solamente a Él. Siendo niño, Chíniquy memorizaba las Escrituras en el regazo de su madre y desarrolló un profundo amor a Dios. Al llegar a ser sacerdote, desesperadamente quería poner su confianza plena en su “Iglesia”, pero lo inundaban olas de dudas porque su “Iglesia” profesaba adhesión al Evangelio; sin embargo, lo violaba continuamente. Sus superiores celosos le acusaron falsamente, pero Abraham Lincoln lo defendió y salvó su reputación. Chíniquy prueba que fueron los Jesuitas quienes más tarde asesinaron a Abraham Lincoln y explica por qué. Finalmente, su obispo demandó que desechara su preciosa Biblia y prometiera obediencia ciega a la “Iglesia”. Después de una noche oscura de lucha interior, salió gloriosamente salvo y guió casi a toda la población de St. Anne, Illinois, a confiar solamente en Cristo. Esta es la mejor obra que se haya escrito para mostrar, desde adentro, lo que el Catolicismo realmente es.
